Show Enthusiasm abounds at by Morgan Queal It's art festival time at Parley's Park Elementary school, and for the fifth year, Parkites are donating their time so children can develop their talents in the arts and crafts. During the four-week festival, 41 volunteers trek to the school each Wednesday afternoon to teach sessions in such areas as bread-making, bread-making, dance, music, kite-making, kite-making, macrame, drawing, painting, sculpture, and newspaper writing. Teri Gomes, teaching the newspaper class, described her students as "very, very serious" about the idea of putting out their own publication during the festival. In another class, students are putting together papier mache pinatas in a variety of creative forms an octopus, Snoopy, a space shuttle under the direction of volunteer Betsy Bacon. In the macrame class, a young man was uttering a string of non-offensive but very creative cusswords in his frustration with tying knots, but volunteers Janet Peretti and Bobbie Holliday were right there with help. One of the largest craft classes is fabric art, where volunteers "Martha Crook, Karen Bogue and Kay Covington are giving 20 young ladies instructions in sewing machine operation while they create such items as pillows and fabric baskets.

What about scheduled fights from Park City to Newport Beach? Is there really going to be a Nordstrom's department store out at the junction? How about a major boating fishing sailing recreation area on the outskirts of town? Would you believe four world-class ski resorts within three miles of Park City? All of the above questions will be addressed at a public meeting sponsored by the ParkCity Summit County League of Women Voters in collaboration with the Park City Planning Department. The planning department will present a slide show complete with commentary about the impact of future growth in the Park City Summit County area. Some of the topics that will be dealt with include future impacts on the sewer district, the city county road system, the schools and the water system. Discussion will also center around the proposed Summit County Airport, the planned industrial park near Silver Creek Junction, the possible shopping center and hospital medical complex to be located at Kimball Junction, and the final plans for the new state highway leading into Deer Valley. The meeting will take place Tuesday, May 4 at the Memorial Building beginning with an attitude adjustment hour at 7 p.m. All Summit County residents are encouraged to attend and take an active part in the discussions. Both the League of Women Voters and the Planning Department welcome your input. For further information, please contact Carol Calder at 649-8882 (work, or 649-7599 (home).

The aim of their experiment ex-periment is to detect the decay of protons, and to that end they've constructed a huge tank that holds over 200,000 gallons of water three and a half miles inside the mine. I went down into the mine recently with Jim Matthews, a physicist from the University Univer-sity of Wisconsin. The reason lis- Ui 1 i e Inside the proton decay detection tank.

Inside the tank are 704 photo tubes, designed to detect photon (light particles par-ticles which a proton gives off when it decays). Tracking a proton through the network of photo tubes requires extremely sophisticated sophisti-cated electronic equipment, and there's over a million dollars worth of it in the Singles form support group It's not a lonely hearts club, but a gathering of singles who basically like being single. That's how Bob Pingree of the Park City Prevention Center describes a group that began meeting two weeks ago to establish a new realm of socializing and problem-solving. Pingree, a clinical social worker who does private counseling at the center, established the singles group to provide "an alternative to the bars" for those who might not be part of a support sup-port group in the community. com-munity. He explained that the group encompasses those who have never been married as well as divorced or separated persons and single parents. There's a casual, unstructured unstruc-tured gathering each Thursday Thurs-day at 6 p.m. at the center. Many are newcomers to Park City, or perhaps have lived here only a year or so. Ages range from 25, with many in the mid 30s to early 40s. The goal, Pingree said, is to "get as many needs met as possible' Pingru, ima organized other singles groups starting in February, 1981, with a support group as "an alter school art festival and Billy Hansen are intent on their macrame Elementary School.

The funding for the project comes from the Department of Energy, the government agency that funds most high energy physics experiments. It is funded for three and a half years.

Albert Einstein spent the last three decades of his life trying to explain these forces with one theory, called the unified field theory. He was never able to but physicists today are still working on a theoretical framework which can predict and explain the effects ef-fects of all four forces under one comprehensive system. In the late seventies, the electromagnetic and weak force theories were combined com-bined to form what is called, naturally enough, the electro-weak force. This theoretical synthesis was acknowledged in 1979 with a Nobel Prize. Physicists now are engaged in vigorous efforts to unite the electro-weak and the strong forces. The theories which seek to do this, predict that the proton will decay in about 1032 years. If the Park City experiment ex-periment corroborates these theories, some of the scientists scien-tists down in the mines think it could mean recognition for them, too. If this synthesis is completed, com-pleted, it will posit only two forces, the electro-weak strong force, and gravitation. Since the effects of gravitation cannot presently presen-tly be detected within the atom, there seems to be one more critical theoretical leap needed to achieve the Unified Field Theory. Once established, however, it will form the culmination of twentieth century physics. social scene other than that found in bars. "I thoroughly enjoy the group, whether it's one person per-son or several," Pingree said. He himself is single, 30 years old and has a private counseling practice in Salt Lake in addition to his counseling coun-seling work with the Prevention Preven-tion Center here. He stressed that all communications and information exchanged at the gatherings are confidential. confiden-tial.
